Without doubt the E30 M3 is THE car of the 80′s.

Oh its a TV programme after all, even Gene’s 1982 Audi didnt exist in 1981 :)

And why, when there are so many available images of Jaguar XJ SIII’s and Saab 900′s to choose from, do you need to pick a US-spec XJ and a foreign-spec, 1990′s model 900?

Best car of the 80s !

The manual version was good for 135mph, was very comfortable and well equipped. The 3 litre straight six sounded gorgeous and delivered plenty of power.
Only 6000 were sold between ’78 and ’86 but sadly few good ones survive as rust was a major problem.
